Do you know if you are right-eyed or left-eyed dominant? Take a minute and conduct this simple test to identify which eye is your dominate eye:
Make an “okay” sign with your hand and extend your arm in front of your face
While keeping both eyes open, pick an object at least 10 feet away and place it in the little circle you created. Close your left eye and if you can still see the object, you are right eye dominant. If the object is no longer visible, you are left eye dominate.
Take a look at this image and decide if you see an old woman or a young lady.
Many times, throughout your life, your eyes may fool you into seeing something that is not there or perhaps, in this case, not seeing something that is there.
The Bible talks about the deceitfulness of our hearts. In Jeremiah 17:9, the Bible says, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.”
We don’t know who we really are at times! We hear so many conflicting ideas through social media, television, and the radio, that we don’t know who is right or what is right. We may not know what we really believe about a given topic.
Our eyes can deceive us, our ears can deceive us, and our hearts may even deceive us. Who is to say what is right and what is wrong, what is sin, and what is not? The man that adapts to a shifty message is building on shifting sand. We must worry less about this changing world and focus on the unchanging Word of God. We will face more and more changes and conflicting ideas, but the man who is embedded in the Truth will stand. Be purposeful and intentional to set aside time daily in God’s Word!
